Weekly shopping with daddy
Weekly shopping Being a mother means that you rarely have time for yourself. Being a mother of twins means you don’t have time almost ever. And being a travelling mother of twins….oh just don’t get me started. One of the things which take me the biggest amount of time (besides cooking) and I dislike most […]
Bali or not Bali
It seems that people either love Bali or hate it. So the question “Bali or not Bali?” seems valid. We were there and we love it. We were there, and we hate it – it depends where you go and what you want to do. And if at the end you will decide to go […]
Unusual morning with young birds
Un… usual morning That day started like any other day. The usual morning. The girls woke up early and ran upstairs to my bed for morning cuddles. No – that’s not quite true. That day started even better. I have achieved parental success: – Tania usually wakes up first, and I have trained her to […]

Good Mother

Morning routine of the best mummy ever
Problem with doing morning routine. Our biggest problem with kids is to have them up and ready in the morning. When they were going to school everything seemed to be easier. They had to do the morning routine fast in order to get to school on time, but since we started worldschooling/homeschooling it’s a bit more […]
Camel Beauty
Camel Beauty Competition Oman Muscat in Oman has been hosting a “Camel Beauty Competition”. I had never heard about anything like that before. Most probably because I don’t consider the camel to be a thing of beauty, though the girls think they are cute. Camel Beauty Pageant Competition Muscat The showground is about 50km […]
Running connects people
Running connects people When the girls and I were traveling I stopped running. I missed it. Every time we were leaving Oman, I packed my running clothes, but each time Nick came to visit us on our travels, I gave them to him to take home because I hadn’t used them. I wanted to run […]
